Bernice Mau

It's helpful to have good eyesight when you work in elections at the Office of the City Clerk. Bernice Mau, Honolulu's city clerk, has a permanent staff of six in the agency's elections division, which hires a few dozen temps to get them through the election season.
And one of the tasks is checking signatures. The county elections offices handle early walk-in voting as well as the vote-by-mail absentee ballots. When those ballots come in, the signature on each of the outer envelopes has to be checked against a database that has stored the images of signatures captured from the voter's ballot application or their voter registration forms.
